Saying BWP doesn't show up in the playoffs is harsh. It's more that a good team with time to prepare can shut down a one or two man attack, limiting BWPs looks to a spare few stabs against the run of play.

that's basically what i saw in front of me for the away playoff game at MTL. he'll get goals if he gets the chances, but if he's limited to a few...he still has to bury them, or at least one of em.

Rivas not even on the bench for Atletico Nacional, as we speak, playing against Atletico Tucuman in Copa Libertadores. So its not like we lost anything special with him this year. Still, we need a strong second FW and winger to spread the Kaku love.

We're ending the season with literally nothing that we got from the Sacha trade.

Frankly, since I am merely a fan and a not a fancy American soccer writer, I'm going to congratulate Wright-Phillips on a well hit goal. If I was an American soccer writer, I'd claim that the recently retired Henry was wearing an invisibility cloak and carried the ball into the net for the obviously unskilled Wright-Phillips.

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

If BWP was a clinical finisher, with his excellent movement and awareness, he would've caught on in England. Not gonna score many against the run of play like an Ibra can. He needs a steady diet of looks, touches, and chances, which becomes a liability in the playoffs with an incomplete roster that can be solved. His game is more suited to a flowing derby match than a chippy knockout game.
